We investigated autistic children's generalisation of social communication over time across three settings during a play-based assessment with different adults and explore the potential moderating effects on generalisation of age, nonverbal IQ and level of restricted and repetitive behaviours. The social communication abilities of 248 autistic…

Eye Gaze in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review of Neural Evidence for the Eye Avoidance Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stuart, Nicole; Whitehouse, Andrew; Palermo, Romina; Bothe, Ellen; Badcock, Nicholas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Reduced eye contact early in life may play a role in the developmental pathways that culminate in a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. However, there are contradictory theories regarding the neural mechanisms involved. According to the amygdala theory of autism, reduced eye contact results from a hypoactive amygdala that fails to flag eyes as…

Speech Development across Subgroups of Autistic Children: A Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Broome, Kate; McCabe, Patricia; Docking, Kimberley; Doble, Maree; Carrigg, Bronwyn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Subgroups of children with different speech profiles have been described however, little is known about the trajectories of speech development or stability of subgroups over time. This longitudinal study described both speech trajectories and subgroup stability of 22 autistic children, aged 2;0-6;11 years, over 12 months. Independent and…

Trajectories of Vocabulary Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder across Multiple Measures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hart, Chelsie M.; Curtin, Suzanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This longitudinal study examined how receptive and expressive vocabulary assessments capture vocabulary development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) children. Using mixed regression modelling, we explored when children with ASD significantly different from TD children. We also examined the variability…

Parent-Reported Atypical Development in the First Year of Life and Age of Autism Diagnosis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Waddington, Hannah; Macaskill, Ella; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O.; Billingham, Wesley; Alvares, Gail A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examined whether parent-reported atypical development in their child's first year was associated with age of diagnosis and age when parents first needed to consult a specialist about their child's development. It involved 423 children who participated in the Australian Autism Biobank. Most parents retrospectively identified [greater or…

Can Enactment and Motor Imagery Improve Working Memory for Instructions in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Children with Intellectual Disability?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tingting Xie; Huan Ma; Lijuan Wang; Yanfei Du – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study explored the impacts of enactment and motor imagery on working memory for instructions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), children with intellectual disability (ID) and typically developing (TD) children. The participants were asked to hear (hearing condition), imagine enacting (motor imagery condition) and actually enact…

Slower Processing Speed in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Meta-Analytic Investigation of Time-Based Tasks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zapparrata, Nicole M.; Brooks, Patricia J.; Ober, Teresa M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting information processing across domains. The current meta-analysis investigated whether slower processing speed is associated with the ASD neurocognitive profile and whether findings hold across different time-based tasks and stimuli (social vs. nonsocial; linguistic…

Medical Home, Developmental Monitoring/Screening, and Early Autism Identification
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Brian Barger; Ashley Salmon; Quentin Moore – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Developmental monitoring/screening predict early identified autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but studies have not yet robustly controlled for a key health care service impacting early identification: medical home. National Surveys of Children's Health (NSCH; 2016-2020) were used to determine the relationship between medical home, developmental…

Reciprocal Associations between Language Ability and Social Functioning Development in Pre-Verbal Autistic Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Devon R. Oosting; Mya S. Howard; Alice S. Carter – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Longitudinal research on language abilities and social functioning in young children suggests that gains in one domain affect gains in the other. However, few studies have examined inter-relations of language and social functioning jointly among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Pre-verbal toddlers with ASD are a group…

The importance of supporting parent-child interactions has been noted in the context of prodromal autism, but little consideration has been given to the possible contributing role of parental characteristics, such as psychological distress. This cross-sectional study tested models in which parent-child interaction variables mediated relations…

Brief Report: Training New Zealand Well Child/Tamariki Ora Nurses on Early Autism Signs Using the Social Attention and Communication Surveillance-Revised
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Waddington, Hannah; Shepherd, Daniel; van der Meer, Larah; Powell-Hector, Naomi; Wilson, Eleanor; Barbaro, Josephine – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Universal developmental surveillance is considered best practice for early identification of autism. We analysed data from 175 New Zealand Well-Child/Tamariki Ora nurses who attended a 1-day training in developmental surveillance for autism using the social attention and communication surveillance-revised (SACS-R) tool. We used a survey to measure…

Melanie Labusch; Manuel Perea; Rosa Sahuquillo-Leal; Isabel Bofill-Moscardó; Ángel Carrasco-Tornero; Antonio Cañada-Pérez; Ana García-Blanco – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
A potential underlying mechanism associated with the difficulties in social interactions in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) concerns the abnormal development of moral reasoning. The present study examined utilitarian and deontological judgments in impersonal and personal moral dilemmas, comparing 66 individuals with ASD and 61 typically…

Developmental Skills Moderate the Association between Core Autism Features and Adaptive Behaviour in Early Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Daniel Berends; Catherine A. Bent; Giacomo Vivanti; Cheryl Dissanayake; Kristelle Hudry – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: While research indicates that both the core features of autism and associated developmental skills influence adaptive behaviour outcomes, results to date suggest greater influence of the latter than the former, and little attention has been given to how the interaction of both together might impact functional disability. Seeking to expand…

Pickard, Katherine; Mellman, Hannah; Frost, Kyle; Reaven, Judy; Ingersoll, Brooke – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) are evidence-based interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder. There has been growing interest in implementing manualized NDBIs within the early intervention (EI) system without a clear understanding of how these programs and the broader strategies encompassed within…

Catherine Bent; Susan Glencross; Karen McKinnon; Kristelle Hudry; Cheryl Dissanayake; The Victorian ASELCC Team; Giacomo Vivanti – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Many autistic children require support to meet their learning needs. Given the heterogeneity within the autism spectrum it is plausible that different types of support might be better suited to different children. However, knowledge on what interventions work best for which children is limited. We examined the outcomes of autistic preschool-aged…
